They're bad. I don't know what else to say. And I'm not just talking about From the Ashes here, I'm talking about their racial skill Revive. But i'm still mainly focusing on From the Ashes.
"When the Phenex is reduced to 0 HP, if they have at least 1 FP, half of that FP is consumed and the Phenex restores that much HP immediately (min. 1 HP). This effect can only trigger once per 10 Rounds."
Lets compare that to Last Chance from Ghost, something any race can get.
When the Ghost takes damage that leave them at 0 HP or less from an enemy that is marked with Claret Call, they instead remain at 1 HP. However, the attacker has their Claret Call marking removed and become Unmarkable for 3 Rounds.
So, Ghost's Last Chance gets you:
1hp
No revive for 3 rounds.
Whereas Phenex's From the Ashes gets you:
1hp minimum
FP cut in half
No revive for 10 rounds
Someone tell me why a racial skill is worse than a skill you get from a class? I mean, I don't see this problem with any other race. Take Naga's and the fact they get a free guard and FP+HP restore as well as HP regen.
Okay so, maybe I'm wrong about racial skills needing to be better than class skills. I mean, this is a promoted class and not everyone is going to be a Ghost, so a free self-revive is good, even if it halves your FP. But who's going to be at so much FP they're basically set to go for round 2? You might be at full health but you have at least half FP. But if you're in a fight and you haven't used any FP, somethings wrong. And if you're dying so quick you don't get chance to lose FP, something is wrong.
Now onto the skill Revive.
Just use Curate and you've already gotten a 10x more efficient way of getting someone up. You don't lose any health and only use a small amount of FP. So its just...useless. There's no viable situation where I can safely say "I should use Revive here". Not to mention you only get them up with 5hp anyways, meaning they're probably going to die again and that 10% hp loss you suffered is probably going to cause more problems andwhyisphenexstillsobad. I'm done. Disagree or agree, I don't mind.
tl;dr im mad because i want a phenex that doesnt gimp me after self-revives
